Reddit bans 'alt-right' discussion forums
Goodbye freedom of speech!

Quote: The banned forums, called subreddits, are r/altright and r/alternativeright . They went dark on Wednesday morning and now redirect to a landing page that reads: "This subreddit was banned due to a violation of our content policy, specifically, the proliferation of personal and confidential information."

"We have banned r/altright due to repeated violations of the terms of our content policy," it concluded.

The site has struggled in recent months to deal with what it refers to as its "most toxic" members. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman generated controversy in November when he admitted to secretly editing posts that criticized him for banning a subreddit devoted to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Huffman apologized, and also said that Reddit would step up efforts to ban individual users who violated its policies

The reddit thread already has discussed this here: /thread-48776.html

Reddit is a sinkhole for free speech. Any person interested in free speech should already be on VOAT. End of story.
